Like the libmd library that the BSD & Solaris cases use in the current
configure.ac?

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 87544 Mar 4 14:32 libmd.so.1*
It's not Xorg's fault if the Linux distros haven't picked it up yet.

Which is one of the reasons I prefer libmd over our own copy of the code.
libmd already has the optimizations for all the various CPU variants - the
small, simple copy of SHA1 in Xorg doesn't stay small & simple once you
start attacking performance and adding in CPU-tuned versions.
